[Momto3boys]

Hi! I am momto3boys, a 34 year old mom to just like my name says to 3 boys. I am married and have been for 14 years.
I work outside of the home full time as a travel agent/supervisor.
I love saving money and hate to pay retail for anything!

I love also looking for new ways to save more money. I look foward to learning many new ways to stretch our money.

Kristina,
Come to Flagstaff. It is 7000+ft (higher than Denver), 4 seasons and we have LOTS of snow! It's beautiful here.

Hello!
My name is Lynn and I am 46 (but not celebrating anymore!). Married for almost 23 years (Feb. 15). We have 4 kiddos. One was adopted at age 15.
22DD,22DD(adopted not twins), 17DS, 14 DD. I have hooked my dd who is in college to couponing. She never buys anything not on sale or with coupons.
I was a SAHM and homeschooled for many years. About 5 months ago I became a nanny for a great family with boy/girl twins 13 months and a boy 4.
They are such a joy to care for (and then I get to go home!).
I watched Oprah back in Oct. and was hooked. I spend WAY too much time on this forum. Even at work while the twins nap I am online.
We too are doing the Dave Ramsey program and crossing off the debt as we go! Can't wait for our income tax to pay off our vehicle. (another one bites the dust)
Saving money has become my obsession. I feel like I need an office to do this "business".
My husband is totally on board and loves to shop with me.
I am so very thankful for all the experienced couponers on this forum. I have learned so much from you.

NAU has a great master's program (and Flagstaff is beautiful!) It's a summer's only program so you work during the school year and attend classes during the summer. It allowed us to make money and put our summer education to work and then use the summer breaks to learn some more! I loved it! I also love the autistic kiddos...their my favorite!

Well, I guess I should jump in here even though I am old enough to be most's gram. I have 3 grown children and 9 grands. I am embarrased to say that I stopped looking at grocery prices when the kids left home and we had a bit of wiggle room financially. Those days have passed. Although we never expected to be in this position, we find ourselves out of work, no pension with devastated retirement stocks. We are from the generation who thought paying off ones house, was the first order of the day. So we are o.k. there.

With the stress of "our" economy, computor age technology and aging, I must say I am having some difficulty getting the hang of all the combination buys in order to save. I am amazed at each of you and your dedication to learn and save. I can tell you that your husbands are very lucky to have you and appreciate your willingness to make their monies stretch, whether they tell you or not.

I worked for 35 years (full and part time) in the medical field but had to stop 10 years ago due to some health issues. The jobs were varied and in differing places so there is no pension income. I can only encourage you gals to plan ahead for the unexpected, because those years come very quickly.

I enjoy music (both my husband and I played in highschool bands, sang in choirs and ensembles til just a couple years ago), sewing, quilting, reading and putzing in the yard. I have set a goal of reading several books on Lincoln this year as it his bicentennial year. I was very excited and surprised to get 3 in the mail last week from my dear SIL in Indiana!

Lastly I want to thank everyone for your "deals and matchups". They have been such a help to me and my husband. And I so appreciate this site and forums.

Hi All
